Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet (I prefer cast-iron) over high heat. Pour in the olive oil. When the oil is hot, place one or two of the lamb racks (depending on the size of your pan), fat side down, into the oil. Sear the meat undisturbed until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the meat and brown the other side. Transfer the lamb to a plate or side dish. Repeat if necessary with the other rack.
